Chicago Police Department has now requested the details from their counterparts in Los Angeles.

When Smollett was pulled over on suspicion of DUI, he told police his identity was his brother Jake and also signed a false name on the standard “promise to appear in court” paperwork, according to the Associated Press.

He was at first charged with the crime of impersonation but pleaded no contest to a lesser count of giving false information to police.

Yesterday we reported that Smollett was "slashed" from his role in Empire as evidence mounts toward the incident allegedly being a planned hoax, according to reports.

Last week, an unconfirmed report from a Chicago ABC affiliate said Smollett allegedly staged the incident - in which he was the "victim" of a vicious attack - because he was getting written out of his TV show, according to sources close to the police investigation.

On Tuesday, a new, likewise unconfirmed report has emerged from TMZ that says unnamed production sources told them Smollett's role in the show is already getting "slashed," even before any potential formal charges are brought against the embattled star.

"Jussie Smollett's 'Empire' screen time is getting slashed in the wake of a growing sentiment that he staged the so-called 'attack,'" TMZ reports.
